Drowning - Lapsley

Mother, I’ve been questioning the truth

I’ve been wishing away my youth

Mother, I don’t feel a sense of calm

Living in a constant state of alarm

You said I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

You said I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

Father, I’ve been running with the wolves

I’ve been tryna keep my cup half full

I tread water

Father, I get lost in my own head

And I remember everything you said

I tread water

You said I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

You said I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

I could always swim so far

I was like a fish in water

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

(Slipping under surface)

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

(Slipping under waves)

So why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

(Slipping under surface)

Ooh, why am I

Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

(Slipping under waves)
